New Hampshire Wedding #1
Lambert's Pride
Elizabeth Lambert is on the fast track to success. Too bad she gets knocked off that track by one dashing, young forest ranger named Kavan Donovan.
It seems the entire town of White Birch is pulling for Elizabeth and Kavan, but her goals don't include falling in love. She fights her attraction to Kavan, even as friends and family urge her to forget her dream of graduate school.
Though problems at work prove distracting, Kavan is nevertheless captivated by Elizabeth.
Is the Lord telling Elizabeth to let go of prideful ambitions? Might His direction lead to marriage instead of graduate school? Can Kavan convince Elizabeth that love is the finest ambition of all?

Hooked
I began reading books by Rachel Hauck with The Wedding Dress. I loved it. As soon I finished I purchased the next in the series. Now, I am reading everything I can find with her name on it.

Surely a woman can't go to grad school and have love?

The characters are likable enough but its ridiculous to think that just because a guy she has only known a few months proposes that Elizabeth would throw over her desire for grad school. And why cant she have both? why is it always the female that has to throw out or put her plans on hold while they man goes on his merry way. And they did not tie up the loose end of who was buying the expensive wood and forgind kavans name

Well, it was wholesome and God-focused. beyond that, I had a hard time getting into the story. Kavan is someone I could have liked, but his character felt flat. Elizabeth straight-up bugged me with her crazy volatile emotions and mood swings. The setting, plot, characters, and writing all had the essence of one-dimensionality.

A beautiful story!
The authors wove a wonderful story of love and determination! I would recommend this book to friends and family. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great novel with inspiring content! Loved seeing the main characters' relationships with God develop and to read about a romance that actually felt real. The characters' faith played a big part.
The plot of this story is understandably not true for everyone as some people are called to have careers or do extended study... but I do believe it was right for the main character here in her particular circumstances.
The extended family annoyed me with their interference.
But overall great first book from this author

PLEASED TO RATE THIS BOOK
This book will help you to deal with pride issues the readers may have. If we take time to really listen to the whispering and sometimes loud messages from the Holy Spirit we would have less stressful issues in our everyday life.

Another Fun Read
Rachel Hauck genius is at work in this plot. I wondered if her Wedding Dress and Wedding Chapel books began with the story of the ring. It would be great to read the ring plot done in the same manner.
